The 2023 Ohio State football season came to a crashing halt in the Cotton Bowl as the Buckeyes’ offense couldn’t get out of first gear in a 14-3 loss to Missouri.
OSU’s reshuffled offensive line struggled to open running lanes or protect QB Devin Brown early, and when he suffered an ankle injury, true freshman QB Lincoln Kienholz was running for his life as well.
Jim Knowles’ defense recorded six sacks, including three from Jack Sawyer, and held the Missouri offense scoreless through three quarters before allowing a pair of late touchdowns in the loss.
